Abstract:
Here, I provide an historical summary of seismic stratigraphy and suggest some potential avenues for future collaborative work between sedimentary geologists and geophysicists. Stratigraphic interpretations based on reflection geometry- or shape-based approaches have been used to reconstruct depositional histories and to make qualitative and (sometimes) quantitative predictions of rock physical properties since at least the mid-1970s. This is the seismic stratigraphy that is usually practiced by geology-focused interpreters. First applied to 2D seismic data, interest in seismic stratigraphy wa

As oil and gas production has been going on over a few decades, conventional plays such as pre-Tertiary fractured basement highs and Cenozoic structural traps become more and more exhausted, and the remaining targets of the same type do not have sufficient reserves for development and production. Exploration activities in Cuu Long basin, therefore, are shifting towards more complicating types of plays which are stratigraphic traps and combination traps.

Abstract:
With the expanding size of 3D seismic data, manual seismic interpretation becomes time-consuming and labor-intensive. For automating this process, recent progress in machine learning, in particular the convolutional neural network (CNN), has been introduced into the seismic community and successfully implemented for interpreting seismic structural and stratigraphic features. In principle, such automation aims at mimicking the intelligence of experienced seismic interpreters to annotate subsurface geology accurately and efficiently. However, most of the implementations and applications are rela

The differential GPS navigation and positioning technique, multi-channel shallow seismic exploration and high resolution single channel seismic technique were used for the geophysical exploration of the shallow stratum in Jiangshidi nuclear power plant site and its surrounding areas. Based on seismic data post processing results, the seismic section interpretation was performed, combined with regional geological background, borehole data and shallow anatomy data.

Abstract:
Despite being a mature oil producer, the Budare Field in the Eastern Venezuela Basin offers considerable reserve growth potential because of stratigraphic and structural complexity. Our ability to resolve these complexities was enhanced following acquisition in 1995 of a 3-D seismic data set over a large part of the field. The seismic data were tied by synthetic to well‐log data by several wells having sonic and density information and then integrated with the high‐resolution genetic stratigraphic framework established from well‐log correlations.

Abstract:
Faults in the subsurface can be an avenue of, or a barrier to, hydrocarbon flow and pressure communication. Manual interpretation of discontinuities on 3D seismic amplitude volume is the most common way to define faults within a reservoir. Unfortunately, 3D seismic fault interpretation can be a time-consuming and tedious task. Seismic attributes such as coherence help define faults, but suffer from “staircase” artifacts and nonfault-related stratigraphic discontinuities. We assume that each sample of the seismic data is located at a potential fault plane. The hypothesized fault divides the sei

Summary The Ceará Basin is a deepwater exploration frontier basin that comprises part of the Brazilian equatorial margin. This basin has been receiving renewed attention from the petroleum industry since the discovery of important deepwater oil fields in its African counterpart. However, detailed seismic stratigraphic, depositional, and structural frameworks for the Ceará Basin are still lacking in the literature.

Abstract:
Focal-time analysis is a straightforward data-driven method to obtain robust stratigraphic depth control for microseismicity or induced seismic events. The method eliminates the necessity to build an explicit, calibrated velocity model for hypocenter depth estimation, although it requires multicomponent 3D seismic data that are colocated with surface or near-surface microseismic observations. Event focal depths are initially expressed in terms of zero-offset focal time (two-way P-P reflection time) to facilitate registration and visualization with 3D seismic data.
